The Highest Point of Pola Negri's Magnificent Career -- June 28, 2024

Exhibitors Herald, 14-June-1924

Pola Negri was born in Poland and became a big star in German movies. In 1922 she went to America. 100 years ago this month, Paramount was promoting its films for the upcoming season, so it ran many ads, including these interesting ones for three of her movies.

Forbidden Paradise was directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Lubitsch and Negri had made six films together in Germany, but this was their only collaboration in Hollywood.

I think Compromised, directed by Dimitri Buchowetzki was released as Lily of the Dust.

I don't know if A Woman Scorned was released under another name or was never made, but I love the ad. I can't find anything that sounds like it with Pola Negri, directed by Dimitri Buchowetzki or based on a story by Owen Johnson.

Dimitri Buchowetzki did direct Pola Negri in Men. Great title, great ad.
